The Calling by Kelley Armstrong

The kids are in the helicopter, flying away from the fire. They realize that the mayor has been drugged and the pilot is flying in the wrong direction. The helicopter crashes on a small island. They realize they need to get to Vancouver Island because there is no where to hide on the island. Maya finds a cabin and she and Daniel get inside. They start figuring out just what is going on. The bad guys are after them but they don't know which ones. Will they make it? Will they find their parents and can they trust them if they do?

Maya Delaney’s paw-print birthmark is the sign of what she truly is—a skin-walker. She can run faster, climb higher, and see better than nearly anyone else. Experiencing intense connections with the animals that roam the woods outside her home, Maya knows it’s only a matter of time before she’s able to Shift and become one of them. And she believes there may be others in her small town with surprising talents.

Now, Maya and her friends have been forced to flee from their homes during a forest fire they suspect was deliberately set. Then they’re kidnapped, and after a chilling helicopter crash, they find themselves in the Vancouver Island wilderness with nothing but their extraordinary abilities to help them get back home. Plentiful action and romance in this second installment in the Darkness Rising series will keep readers enthralled to the last page.
